Although the course will cover cutting of iron, mild steel, and aluminum.

It consists of a 4 hour-ish lecture (9am-1pm) followed by an individual project.

Basic shop safety is a pre-requisite. The project is optional for people with previous experience on a metal lathe – talk to the instructor. The materials and tools required for the project is supplied, although an investment of $10-$50 in your own cutting bits will be required over time as you work on your own projects. Minimum 8 students must be registered to hold the class. Maximum of 20 may attend.
